DIVING IN BALI
DIVING IN BALI Bali offers not only beautiful landscapes, ancient culture, friendly people, and secluded beaches but also a diverse and vibrant marine life. For all divers and adventure enthusiasts, we invite you to dive into this mysterious world. Colonies of hard and soft corals, a huge variety of fish species from the Indian and Pacific Oceans, such as giant manta rays, reef and whale sharks, and the magnificent Mola-Mola or sunfish – all this and more can be seen in the coastal waters of Bali and its surroundings. For diving and snorkeling, we recommend the following locations: TULAMBEN BAY Tulamben is located in the northeast of the island. It is a small bay situated on a rocky beach at the foot of Mount Agung. Tulamben offers an outstanding variety of marine life, tuna colonies, the remains of a 120-meter shipwreck, and a beautiful coral reef for diving enthusiasts.
